INSTRUCTIONS FOR P1200, P1600 and P2000 Application The P1200, P1600 and P2000 Ultra High Speed Burnishers are used to achieve and/or maintain a high gloss appearance on an established floor finish. The high pad revolution of the floor burnisher combined with a good polishing pad will turn properly established cleaned floor finish into a high gloss, hardened finish known as the “wet look shine”. The pads recommended with the P1200, P1600 and P2000 are the Powr-HD beige or white synthetic pads or the natural hogs hair blended pads. Preparation of Surface Before each use of this machine, the floor must be dust mopped with a treated mop and if necessary clean the floor with a damp mop, using a solution of water and neutral cleaner. PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION WARNING: To prevent injury, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before changing the polishing pad and before leaving the machine. • With the handle locked, tip the machine back until the handle is lying flat on the floor. • To remove the pad-lock pad holder from the flexible pad driver, grasp the center support with your thumb and forefinger and turn the collar counterclockwise. See picture #1 (at right). • Place a clean or new 20” buffing pad over the alignment ring on the pad holder. • Replace the collar by turning clockwise until snug. See picture #2 (at right). • Step back and lift the burnisher to the upright position. • Connect the power cord into a grounded, 3-wire outlet. • The P1200 and P1600 Burnishers should be operated with the handle in the unlocked “floating” position to provide excellent maneuverability and automatic pad contact. The P2000 is designed for maintenance of large, open areas. To prevent excessive pad drag or uneven burnishing where tight, repetitive turns are necessary, lock the handle for manual control of pad contact. NOTE: The hardened steel cam release lever does not require extreme tightening to effectively hold the handle in position. Over-tightening will shorten the functional life of the lever. See picture # 3 (at right). HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE • Place both hands on the anti-fatigue handle grips. Depress the left or right switch trigger and move forward. • Push the machine forward in a straight line, at a slow walking speed. Overlap each pass by about 1 inch (25 mm). AFTER USING THE MACHINE • Upon completion, dust mop with treated mop to pick up all burnishing residue. • The condition of the floor pad has direct affect on the performance of your burnisher. When the pad becomes dirty, turn it over and use the other side. When finished, wash the pad out and allow it to dry completely before using again. • Unplug the power cord and wrap it under the cord hook and over the right handle grip. • Tip the machine back and remove floor pad. • Wipe off the machine housing and the cord. This will prevent build-up of unnecessary residue. Picture #1 TRANSPORTING THE P1200, P1600 AND P2000 Use the rear wheels for transporting the P1200, P1600 or P2000. This will insure that the operating wheels remain clean and smooth for use on clean floor surfaces. See picture # 4 (below left). Picture #2 MAINTENANCE FOR THE P1200, P1600 AND P2000 Picture #3 • Once a month, remove the motor cover of the unplugged P1200, P1600 or P2000 by pulling evenly, but firmly, with both hands until cover is removed. • Vacuum out any dust or debris which has accumulated in the motor. See picture # 5 (below). • Replace motor cover by setting it over holes in housing and firmly pushing down. • Check and maintain tightness of all fasteners. WARNING: do not over-tighten switch housing screws. • Keep the burnisher clean, especially at the handle tube and collar so the handle tube will move freely through the collar. • Inspect cord and plug for cuts, gashes or loose prongs; replace as needed. • The length of the carbon brushes should be inspected annually. If they are no longer extended past the holder window, they should be replaced. • Replacement of carbon brushes should be done only by a qualified service technician. • Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty. • Improper disassembly and assembly of this motor can permanently damage the armature.

Picture #6 A SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This Floor Machine should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. This machine is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3prong grounded type attachment cap plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect this wire to anything other than the grounding blade. The Floor machine is provided with an attachment cap plug, as shown in Sketch A, and is intended for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit. If a properly grounded receptacle, as shown in Sketch A, is unavailable, an adaptor, as shown in Sketch C, is available and should be installed, as shown in Sketch B, if the outlet box that houses the receptacle is grounded. Be sure to fasten the grounding tap to the faceplate screw. These guidelines are presented for your protection and convenience. Please read them carefully, since a failure to heed these precautions could result in discomfort or injury. When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
